Though I guess there are commonalities that good detectives use to figure out a crime, there's also the fact that a normal person will never be able to comprehend the mind of a psychopath. Why these people did what they did to Lisa and Johnny is beyond me. Were they there to steal or kill? What was the primary reason? This doesn't seem like a 7-11 hold up where killing the clerk is secondary to getting the cash register contents. Whoever did this are sadists.
To me this crime is sadistic and personal. If rumour holds true that Lisa's father had made fotutitous investments in the Dinar (the actual currency not futures on paper) then he may have had to find a place to keep them. If this good fortune was related to his daughter and then Lisa confided it to JC its just a matter of time that word was spread to an element that was not so happy for them as was puzzeling over how they might benefit, the rightful owner be damned. JC might have seen no danger in relating to people of this ilk because the comfortible fit of its dynamics were established early on with his mother.
